"Luis González Palma’s universe is made up of a constellation of themes orbiting around his work , constantly going to and fro. Identity and memory, –the axes of his first works- are tackled using portraits with constant echoes of religious and baroque painting . . . [Palma's] work is impregnated with a symphony of formal solutions which are, in his own words, 'an attempt to give body to ghosts that govern personal relationships, religious and political hierarchies found in life'. " - Alejandro Castellote, Curator

Dreams connect the space between real and surreal. They derive from fragments of our stream of consciousness. Our life’s memories, our desires, and our fears reshuffle and play-back in visions that may appear obscured by double-vision, or be crystalized by a hyper-real clarity. Often, they exist with the support of an uncanny logic or disjointed symbolism. Whether hopeful or menacing, dreams pull on the strings of our most raw and primal emotions.

Paul Turounet, Retablo 28 from Estamos Buscando A
Larry Lytle of Black & White Magazine authored a 2-page story on Director, Jennifer DeCarlo, in the April issue. We were the first subject in a new column on Art Dealers. We are honored by the coverage; excerpt follows.
DeCarlo feels a sense of responsibility to the larger art community. She explains, “I’m trying to cultivate the next generation of artists as well as cultural consumers. Keeping a gallery open to the public is very important to a sustainable and healthy cultural community . . . We vet, make sense of and help decode the current work. We provide the viewer a place to see the work, mark it in time and place, and create a history through exhibitions.” - Larry Lytle

jdc Fine Art Director, Jennifer DeCarlo, is the feature of Photograph Magazine’s In Profile column by Sarah Schmerler.
Excerpt:
DeCarlo’s eclectic stable favors work with complex and often elegiac narratives, including imagery by Mexican-born Tatiana Parcero, who overlays images of her own body with cosmological maps and anatomical diagrams, and Paul Turounet, whose recent exhibition at the New Mexico State University Art Gallery displayed his photographs of illegal immigrants on an actual wall salvaged from the border between the U.S. and Mexico. “The border is just 20 minutes from my house,” says DeCarlo. “We should just have as our motto ‘Let Art Lead The Way.’ I may run this gallery by myself, but I almost always use the plural when I refer to what we do here. It’s the artists, and all the collaborators, and all the vast issues that surround us. It’s not just me.”
